Admiral Taverns are seeking a licensee with the passion and ability to nurture the pub’s existing trade while also identifying and developing new opportunities for growth. The ideal licensee will place themselves at the heart of the local community, building strong relationships that help drive both footfall and sales. Promoting the premium drinks range already in place will be important, alongside bringing fresh ideas and energy to the business. A key area of potential lies in fully utilising the function room, which presents a significant opportunity to expand the pub’s offering through private events and entertainment. Establishing a strong and consistent “rhythm of the week” including regular activities, live sport, and entertainment will help create dependable trade and encourage repeat visits. A well-planned and proactive marketing strategy will also be essential, ensuring the pub effectively promotes its events and offerings while tapping into the surrounding community to maximise awareness and attendance.

Fiveways is located in Gallowgate, a vibrant neighbourhood in Glasgow with regular bus and train connections to both the city centre and the East End. Positioned on a main road, the pub is just a short walk from the iconic Celtic Park, home of Celtic Football Club. As a true community local, Fiveways sits on the high street close to a range of local shops, takeaways, and the Forge Shopping Centre. With excellent transport links nearby, it’s an easily accessible spot for both locals and visitors alike.

Pub Layout

Fiveways operates across two distinct bar areas: the main bar and a separate function room. From the front door you enter the main bar area. The bar is positioned to the left along the side wall, creating a welcoming focal point for customers. Fixed and loose seating lines the remaining walls, leaving a generous open floor area that comfortably accommodates high street footfall as well as the busy atmosphere brought by football fans on match days. To the rear of the building is the function room, which benefits from its own separate entrance and can seat approximately 100 guests. This versatile space features its own dance floor and a bar situated along the wall opposite the entrance. With a combination of fixed and flexible seating, the room is tastefully decorated and well suited for private functions, parties, and live entertainment, offering a more private and adaptable setting within the venue.

Located on a busy high street, this wet-led opportunity offers significant potential for the right licensee to maximise the many income streams the pub can provide. By extending the current opening hours, introducing mid-week live televised sport, and developing a regular programme of quality entertainment, there is strong scope to attract increased trade throughout the week. In addition, actively marketing the currently underutilised function room for private events and celebrations could further boost footfall, creating valuable additional revenue and driving overall sales growth.
